Rights delegation
Resellers at Gandi have the option of granting another party the right to view and manage domains, hosting products, and contacts that are in their portfolio.
This can be useful if:
- you need to have other members of your company manage your portfolio, yet do not want to give them access to your main account directly.
- you need to allow someone to manage your Gandi hosting products for you, yet do not want to give them access to your main account directly.
